The Obamas’ first Netflix show will be about Trump’s government

According to a report from Deadline, the Obamas have acquired the rights to Lewis’s The Fifth Risk and are hoping to develop it into a potential Netflix series.

The Fifth Risk, which was released last month, criticises the transition between Barack Obama and Donald Trump’s federal governments as dysfunctional and, as a consequence, deeply dangerous for the country and the world.

This is an ideal first project for the Obamas since Lewis’s previous books have a long track record of being adapted into hit films and this is something the former president is uniquely qualified to discuss.

What the former couple will do with The Fifth Risk isn’t clear yetbut the whole story might be about how everything completely went to the dogs after the Obamas moved out of the White House.
